Answer 1

So we can draw this nice ellipse and thinking of Kepler who says "equal areas in equal times" and using the symmetry of the ellipse, we draw this nice pic

Now we just slide that dot in the center to the left until it divides the left area into a third of the total area in the bottom half. =P

Answer 2

\[\huge \frac{ A_{near} }{ t_{near} } = \frac{ A_{far} }{ t_{far} }\]
